Updated! T&Ps please: Asthma is acting up

Hi ladies. Can I please put in a T&P request today? I have asthma that has been well controlled up until now. The past few days I have noticed that my breathing is very heavy and strained. I'm currently laying down because walking down the stairs totally took my breath away. These bouts of strained breathing are accompanied by my heart racing and sweats (despite it being freezing in my house), which really worries me. I know that shortness of breath and hot flashes can be very normal pregnancy symptoms, but I'm still freaking out that baby isn't getting enough oxygen. If I can't breathe, she can't breathe.
I called my MFM who is having me come in at 12:30 today. He says that my symptoms are not consistent with my history and he is concerned. He also said it could be totally normal, but there's no way of telling that over the phone. Please keep Anabelle in your thoughts today.
Wasn't I just saying that my pregnancy was finally feeling normal?!?!
Update: Baby is good, but this mama got herself a referral to a cardiologist. He is putting me back on my Advair inhaler, but said that my lungs sound perfectly clear so its not making sense why I had an attack this morning and why I'm struggling to breathe. Given my age (25), it is unlikely that something is wrong with my heart, but he wants it checked out to rule it out for sure. He's hoping the Advair does the trick and I start feeling better over the weekend.
Thank you for your support ladies! I know I've been a bit of an AW this week, so I really appreciate you sticking by me and helping me through this.

I have asthma also and as soon as we found out I was pg, my pulmunologist put me on monthly appointments to closely monitor me with instructions to call if I had any asthma attacks. It is very common for asthma to flare during pg.
Do you have a regular doctor you see for your asthma and are you currently using a daily inhaler? We found a few different ones that he felt were safe during pg.
The day the Bump died - Jasper is wise
I stopped my daily inhaler when I found out that I was pregnant and my MFM said it was ok because I was actually doing fine without it. He did put me on heartburn and allergy meds which are my asthma triggers, in hopes that controlling the triggers would prevent an asthma flare up. But it may be time to go back on the daily inhaler.
